S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
How do we exhaust all forms of military redress? | S.O.S. #196
What real options do service members have when seeking redress through their chain of command—and do those systems actually work the way they’re supposed to?
My next guests say no. But they’re not giving up.
This week, I’m joined by Major Katie Pappa, a highly decorated Marine Corps Supply Officer, and her attorney, former Navy SEAL William Brown, Jr. Together, they’re taking their case all the way to the Secretary of the Navy, challenging a review process they say is broken—and still failing those who speak up.
Major Pappa’s career was derailed after for what she says was holding a subordinate accountable. Now, she and Brown are fighting back through a legal appeal that could have implications for service members across the military.
Tune in to hear their powerful story, what’s at stake, and why this fight is about more than just one Marine—it’s about safeguarding due process, accountability, and the integrity of the system itself.
Don’t miss it—new episode drops this Wednesday live at 7pm CST.
